Hi  there  from  'down-under'.   Name  is Richard and location is Canberra,
Australia.  I have two MFJ tnc's ... which I use for packet.  The older one
is  a  1278  which  I  have  upgraded to include pactor.  This device works
satisfactorily - both with a simple terminal program and with more advanced
programs  like  "lan-link".   I  find the tnc is quite useful for local (ie
around vk) pactor contacts.
The MFJ 1276 I have is much more of a problem.  I have a list of the jumper
settings ... and I can receive / monitor the local pactor stations 100%. If
I  make  any  attempt to contact them ... I get disconnected at the instant
the  connect frame is sent!  I am not alone in this.  In response to a plea
on  the  packet  system  at  least  one  other amateur has responded with a
similar  tale  of woe.  The local MFJ agent doesn't want to know!  An email
to  MFJ  brought  a  suggestion  that  I  freight it to them.  I feel it is
something simple.  Maybe one of the jumper settings is should be reversed??

I want to talk with other owners of the MFJ 1276.

You cane send me a packet mail to

vk1rj@vk1bbs.act.aus.oc

or better still

rjenkins@alphalink.com.au

Maybe we could compare our jumper settings??
